TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.
To the MINING JOURNAL.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
There is q rumor we'll current that
an examination of teachers may be
held at some point on the Creek this
year. 1t is needless to say that such a
concession on the part of the School
Board-who, in SO doing, would be
simply following a plan adopted in
many other counties in this and ad-
joining States, and formerly practiced
in our county-would be gratefully
appreciated by teachers to whom the
expense of going to Cumberland and
boarding two days at time when
funds are scarce, is no inconsiderable
thing. The method thought of would
also save the Examiner the labor and
worry of handling 100 or 200 teachers
at Cumberland, and really make the
work of examination much easier to
him for dozen or more good reasons
which could state, but which to the
lay brethren is not necessary.
The present School Board has done
so many kind things for the better
ment of the teachers environment,
that we hope they will not hesitate to
authorize Il friendly disposed Examiner
to do this good office.

The so.called mistakes of Moses are
slight compared with the mistakes Of some
people sending to eastern cities to buy goods
that can be purchased at home, even at lower
prices, of any of our houses. Nowhere can
such a variety of the most fashionable and
durable goods be found as on our counters.
To even attempt to quote prices and describe
the wares handled by us would be as
ridiculous as putting lot of STUFF in the
newspapers that nobody believes.
As we desire to add others to our long list
of reliable customers, we can faithfully refer
them to the many of our patrons who have

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
To the MINING JOURNAL.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
The ninety. ninth General Assembly
of the Presbyterian church is in session
in Omaha, Neb. This is the first meet
ing of the body west of the Mississippi.
Presbyterianism was founded in
America by Francis Mackenzie, an
Irish minister, 200 years ago. The
first presbytery was organized few
years later with four ministers and five
churches, and in 1716 the first synod
with seventeen ministers and as many
churches and in 17SS the first general
assembly was held with II presbyteries,
419 congregations and $50 ministers.
In 1884 there were % synods, Ill
presbyteries and 1900 ministers. In
1887 occurred the division into the old
school and new school Presbyterians,
and the reunion of these in 1870
showed a joint membership of 3,238
ministers, 4,526 churches and 446, 1861
communicates. The membership rep
resented in the assembly at Omaha
exceeds 5000 ministers, 6, 400 churches
and 100000 communicants, giving
over $l2, 900, 900 per annum for the sup
port of the Gospel at home and abroad.
The whole Presbyterian body in this
country now numbers 1,32S, 1882 COM
municants. Last year this church
gave to the cause of home missions
alone the sum of 956, ,466. They gave
to the cause of foreign missions alone
$1,02l GA, which is nearly one-third
of the whole amount contributed last
year by all other churches in the
United States to that cause. They
contributed last year for all causes
$15, ,75l, ,538. Tie Northern Presby-
byterian Church itself has been fol
several years giving over million fol
missions, and last year gave the noble
sum of upwards of a million and a-halt

The Southern Assembly is in session
also in st. Louis. Both assemblies
will arrange for a united celebration
of the centennial of the American

mony to commemorate the goodness
and mercy of God to his people in
building the walls of Zion in this

SToNEwALL JACKsoN's GHosT.-A CORE
spondent writes from Lexington the fol-
lowing
II send you a thrilling and true account
of q ghost which has recently appeared at the
Virginia Military Institute. On the night Of
the 28th, shortly after u O'Clock, as the senti
mel was walking his lonely beat, his atten-
ton was attracted through the sally port to
the front Of the barracks by slight sound
resembling the rustling OF leaves by gentle
wind. Instantly, between the two large
forty-six pound siege pieces, there appeared
soldier dressed in a Confederate uniform
and mounted upon q large gray horse. His
sword was drawn, his horse tightly refined
up, and two white plumes foated gracefully
about his hat. The sentinel at first, almost
parslyzed with terror, had gazed upon the
object, but in an instant, when the horse
was started through the sally port into the
courtyard at round trot, crossing the SEN
tinel's beat, making no audible sound, al
though he was passing over solid brick
pavement, the sentinel, true 10 his military
principle, challenged with loud voice
"Who goes there?" The rider did not heed
the challenge, but passed on at the same
pace until arriving at an abrupt, dangerous
and impossible precipice in rear of the bag
racks, he vanished. On the next night
similar phenomena occurred. An old vet
eran present recognized the grand and i'm.
posing form of the rider to be none other
than that of Gen. Stonewall Jackson. So
far no explanation can be given"

Virginia Politics.

A Richmond dispatch says 1.-THE present
agitation of the debt question promises to
revive that issue during the contest for
members of the Legislature this fall. Gov.
Lee has not indicated any intention of re-
calling the Legislature this year. No one
has clearly pointed out what that body
could do to relieve the present difficulties.
A we'll informed politician says if any one
could submit to Governor Lee one intelli-
gent plan of action which would accomplish
something more practical than empty eva.
sions, he would call an extra session. If
such thing is contemplated, it is probable
that it will not be carried out until the Su
preme Court passes upon the cases decided
by Judge Bond and from which appeals
were taken.n
A Washington correspondent Of the Fred
ericksburg Free Lance writes yesterday: ut
is an open secret that number of his closest
political friends have been troubled for
some time past over the proper and best po
sition for Senator Malone to take on the
subject of the debt controversy, and more
especially as to what should be his attitude
in the conflict between the State and federal
courts. 1t has been argued to him that he
should favor o compromise with the credit
ors and bring, if possible, a lasting peace to
the judiciary Of the State and nation, the
bondholders and the people of two cont.
nents. Such course would be applauded
by many thousands of persons, especially at
the North and abroad and particularly by
Northern republicans. He would be hail.
ed by them as a profound respector of
law and valiant defender of the Supreme
Court and the constitution. Through his
influence terms equitable and liberal
to the State could, it is said be pro-
cured Some of his admirers urge that it
would also lift heavy load from his name
now marked as it is in the estimation of
many by the STAIN of at least partial re-
pudiation OF what they consider an honest
debt. The more enthusiastic ones declare it
might make him the nominee of the repub.
lcans for the Vice Presidency. With repu.
dation staining his name and he heading a
war against the supreme judicial power of
the nation, he could never hope for any
such recognition as that nor even of going
into the Cabinet of the next President AS
to its effect on Virginia politics, they insis.
there would come gain and not loss, es
pecially. if he conducted compromise with
the creditors to satisfactory conclusion"
An active campaign for the county of
fcers, which are to be elected this spripg, is
going on in many parts of the State. In
the black belt and portions of the southwest
the republicans are reported to be unusually
energetic. A weil-knoEn anti Malone
republican from the Valley, it ia given out,
is in Richmond for the purpose of organiz-
ing an opposition in the party to Malone,
or those upon whose shoulders his political
mantle may fall in the campaign of this
year.

ALEX ANDRIA-.
FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4.

To SHOW how the low tariff doctrine is
spreading among all parties in the North
west, it is only necessary to mention the
fact that the Chicago Tribune, whose ultra
republicanism is not doubted, is bold enough
to say:
"If revenue reform was opportune at the
last session, it is imperative now, ard woe
to the democracy if they adjourn without
cutting down war taxes. no longer needed.
If certain manufacturers. subsidized by ex'
cessive duties, ranging from so to so per
cent, canuot stand reduction, it will serve
the public welfare for them to engage 10
some business which does not require the
savage taxation of the masses, for the al
vantage of rapacious few"
And yet, though the democrats have large
majority in the U. S. House Of Representa-
tiyes, Mr.. Randall and few others, by
uniting with the republicans of that body,
make it impossible for them to execute the
will of the people who elected them, and
to cut down the war taxes on the necessa-
res of life

The BILL removing the limitation on ap-
pications for arrears of pensions is so object
ionable that even such pronounced repub
licans as Senators Hswley, Platt and Saw
yer yesterday voted against resolution al
lowing its friends to take it up at their
pleasure. But Gen. Mahone stood up and
voted for that resolution like little man.
The General would give all the Northern
soldiers, and all sisters, cousins and
sunts az large pensions as they might de-
sire; button memorable occasion, when his
single vote would have repealed the statute
prohibiting Copfederates from holding
commissions in the U. S. army, he cast it

as Mr.. Edmunds said, 'to show which side
